Update on the Kellogg’s rebate & Albertsons deal — It’s a go!

Shared on March 31, 2011This post may contain affiliate links which means I make a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you. See the disclosure policy for more information.

It looks as though theKellogg’s $10 rebate is not limited to AARP members. There are two things leading me to this conclusion:

1. There is nothing on the rebate form that indicates it is limited to anyone other than you needing to be 18+ years old. If it was limited to AARP members, it would certainly be stated on the redemption form.

I think this is a case of a company’s customer service not being ully informed of a promotion or offer and coming up with an answer on the fly. I feel very comfortable with submitting this rebate and promoting the Kellogg’s cereal & milk moneymaker at Albertsons.

I hope this brings a sigh of relief for those of you who have special orders waiting for them at Albertsons!

This deal keeps getting sweeter. The Rice Krispies at Albertsons also have the sticky coupons which are either buy 2 get a free bag of M&Ms up to $2.99 or buy 2 get $1 off fresh fruit. This is a great deal long with coupons, doubles and the rebate!!

Does anyone know if Fred Meyer will take the Milk coupons? I drove 45 minutes to Alberton’s to get in on this deal, but it would be nice if I can just run up to Freddy’s 1 mile away for milk. Also Rice Krispies $1/2 is printable again at Kellogg’s site.

I don`t know if it is legal to limit rebates to members only. I do know that ANY restrictions must be clearly stated on the rebate form. I feel very confident that this rebate will be good for those of us that comply with the conditions stated.

I can’t imagine that it would only be for a certain population. If they’re saying they can’t change the wording now because of their ‘legal counsel’, denying thousands of rebate requests when THEY lacked the proper language would be problematic as well. Either way I suppose, its a major deal. $3/5 price, coupons w/doublers, milk catalinas, AND the fruit coupons allowed me to make a killing on this. I dont like cereal and am vegan, but we donated a TON to our church and it couldn’t have been easier.

Thanks so much for being so thorough;) I’m a little curious about the wording on it “While supplies last” tho. Think this could be like the Walmart/All You tp deal and you might get lucky and you might not? I hope I get lucky because I have 45 boxes on order also.

I called twice this morning and spoke with 2 other Kelloggs Reps along with a rep from AARP, they all confirmed that it is in fact for the general public. They said that as long as all of the rules are compiled with on the order form, there will be no problems with the gas gift card offer.

I also asked to have them send me out an email stating that this offer is for the general public, but they said they could not because they couldn’t add any new part to their rules without legal counsel approval, and it was too late for that, but since it does not specifically say anywhere that this offer is only for AARP members, that it is good for the general public.

With that said, I still have my 100 boxes on order, and feel very confident with this deal still going through. I will not be telling any of my readers and friends to cancel their orders.

I already asked my parents if they were AARP members and they said yes. I was just going to send it in under their name and address if it was a problem. I was not going to pass up $50 and all the work I have put into this deal!

Thank you for being thorough. I appreciate everyone’s hard work put into this deal and excited to hear back about everyone’s experience.

I got a call from the store I placed my order with today and she told me that they contacted Kelloggs and they stated that is for AARP members only. The only thing that I see on the rebate form is that they do ask you for your age. I am thinking of sending it to my mom since she is an AARP member and splitting the gas cards with her. She will probably give them to me anyway! Either way it is a GREAT deal. Especially when you incorporate the peelies for free fruit or free M & M’s with every 2!
I just went today since I was out of milk and bought:
4 Rice Crispies
2 Corn Flakes
3 Apples
2 Bags of Easter M & M’s
3 Singles of Millstone Coffee
Used
3 $1/2 Kelloggs
3 $2/1 Millstone (expires today)
1 $1 off of fruit when you purchase 2 kelloggs
2 Free M&M’s when you purchase 2 Rice Crispies
I also had a $4 Catalina
My total was 53 cents and I also got 2 vouchers for free milk!
Thank you Jesus!
